Date Night

Ben and I had our date night tonight as part of the marriage retreat. We spent some time checking out downtown Galena. There are several blocks of unique little shops. Of course we didn't get to all of them with the way my back has been and of course we're doing all we can to prevent labor this weekend.
We then found Frank O' Dowds Irish Pub and restaurant which was inside the Irish Cottage Hotel. We had a wonderful meal and then were entertained by four grade school girls' gaelic dancing.
I've been having quite a few more contractions, but of course nothing consistent enough to make us head to a hospital. We just keep telling our little one, "it's only X number of hours until we're home and we can meet you".


We have a private balcony off our room and this is the beautiful view we have of Lake Galena.

Marriage retreats are great - Uncle
Norm & I have done them. We are
praying that the little one arrives
soon so we can fall in love all
over again with the new baby. Take
very good of yourself Heather.
